Proton VPN allows free users to enjoy and protect their privacy on the internet without compromising safety and security. they have a no-logs policy and they do not store the data of users. Thus they stand out from most of the VPNs out there. Also, the proton VPN has great speed on its free servers which are not offered by any other VPN I have seen so far. that's definitely a plus point.

• Although there are better alternatives out there, Check Point delivers results for the price we paid for the system.
